“Really enjoyed our activities. Shame the animal rides weren’t longer, but we knew how far we would be going on them when booking this. Would have also been nice if we could have had spare time to wonder around the farm, as that felt a little rushed. Ryan and our other guide (so sorry I forgot his name) were fab, full of fun and looked after us well. All in all a thumbs up as it was an unforgettable experience. We did the snowmobile, husky and reindeer rides in one package for half a day.”

“We were picked up on time at our Airbnb by Egor who drove us directly to the farm. On arrival, there was a big group of people already waiting in line to go on the sleigh ride, so we had time to pat the huskies that weren't on the sleigh ride first. The wait wasn't long and before we knew it, we were on the sleigh! The ride is short but a lot of fun! We got to pat and take pictures with these huskies too before we went to a lodge closeby. It was very cosy and had a fireplace where everyone could sit around. We were served cookies…”
